Kfar Kisch offers two distinct ways to spend your time: at the Sadaria, you can print, learn and create using traditional printing methods, with machines that are more than 100 years old. Beshviley Hatavor also offers guided self-drive off-road tours on routes in the Lower Galilee. The difference is clear: the workshop focuses on creating something yourself, while the tours focus on a guided drive. You can choose what to focus on depending on whether you are interested in printing methods or an off-road excursion.
Traditional Printing at the Sadaria
The Sadaria is about more than the age of its machines: visitors can print, learn and create there. The machines, which are more than 100 years old, give a visit to the workshop a distinctive technical and historical dimension; at the same time, hands-on engagement with traditional printing methods remains a central part of the experience. If you enjoy creating something yourself while traveling, you will find a different focus here than on an off-road drive. The Sadaria thus offers a hands-on introduction to printing: the methods are not merely a subject of interest, but can be explored through printing and design.
Guided Off-Road Tours from Kfar Kisch
Beshviley Hatavor’s sunset tour starts in Kfar Kisch and heads from there toward Khirbat Ma'adar. Along the way, there is a planned stop at Maayan Hamesh, where you can wade in the water and prepare coffee and herbal tea. An evening twilight experience tour also starts in Kfar Kisch and heads toward Khirbat Ma'adar. The operator describes its off-road tours as guided self-drive experiences for couples, families and groups; the routes are in the Lower Galilee. Check availability and arrangements directly with the operator before your trip.
Archaeological Highlights in the Wider Destination of the Northern District
In the wider destination of the Northern District, Tel Hazor and Tel Megiddo offer further archaeological highlights. Tel Hazor brings together different periods: visits focus on the Upper City. Its features include Solomon’s Gate, with six chambers and two towers dating to the 10th century BCE. A Canaanite palace was used by the kings of Hazor in the 14th and 13th centuries BCE. The Late Bronze Age palace is considered the most elaborate in Israel and one of the most significant in the Levant.
Water engineering is another theme at Tel Hazor. The excavated shaft is 45 meters deep. The underground water collection system preserves significant remains of sophisticated engineering adapted to the geography for water storage. Steps three meters wide are carved into the walls of a vertical shaft. Taken together, these features show how Tel Hazor can be explored through its gate, palace and water system: as a place with a range of archaeological questions, not just a single attraction.
Tel Megiddo offers a different focus. The tell preserves significant remains of a city with biblical connections and is closely associated with events from the Bible. In particular, the temple complex from the Early Bronze Age is considered exceptional for the number of its temples, the continuity of its cult activity and its documented ritual practices. The orthogonal city plan from the Iron Age is another feature, with few parallels in the Levant. While gate architecture, palace history and water supply are among the notable themes at Tel Hazor, the temple complex and urban planning take center stage at Tel Megiddo.
